An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an International Standard or be withdrawn Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights It is intended, at the next revision of ISO/TS 16952-1 and of IEC 61346-1, to combine both documents into one ISO/IEC standard with a 80000 number ISO/TS 16952-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 10, Technical product documentation, Subcommittee SC 10, Process plant documentation and tpd-symbols ISO/TS 16952 consists of the following parts, under the general title Technical product documentation — Reference designation system: ⎯ Part 1: General application rules The following part is under preparation: ⎯ Part 10: Power plants Further parts on sector-specific rules are under consideration iv Copyright International Organization for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with ISO No reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS © ISO 2006 – All rights reserved Not for Resale ISO/TS 16952-1:2006(E) Introduction IEC 61346 is the basic standard for structuring principles and reference designation IEC 61346-1 provides a number of possibilities for the construction of reference designations For most applications, however, only a subset of the possibilities given in IEC 61346-1 need to be used IEC 61346-1 does not restrict the use of the reference designation system to a specific area It is sometimes necessary to incorporate further basic requirements, and it is recommended that these be specified and explained in supporting documentation To enhance an efficient implementation of those basic rules and to ensure a consistent interpretation of those rules, an easily understandable system is necessary Consequently, ISO/TS 16952: ⎯ offers broadly based, general solutions with rules for a practice-oriented and consistent application; ⎯ fulfils the requirements for ergonomics and occupational safety; ⎯ takes into account memorability, labelling, and processing in common office- and CAx-tools; ⎯ summarizes in a single document all technical designation tasks (reference designations according to function, product and location aspect as well as designation of connections, signals, documents); ⎯ recommends decoupling of reference designation activities of plant designers and of equipment suppliers, by use and allocation of different aspects; ⎯ introduces the “conjoint designation” for higher level objects without specific aspect; ⎯ supports the handling of computer programs and parts of such programs as technical products; ⎯ forms the basis for sector-specific solutions and specifications in further parts of ISO/TS 16952, in order to achieve a consistent designation across different technical fields `,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,` -
